My sign is particularly adapted to merchants in the grocery and other merchandising lines of business where it is desirable to provide a` window sign which may bereadily changed. For instance, the price of eggs may want to be changed often, or other commodities which are sold by the merchant. then may by my sign make a suitable display sign which is formed in sections and adjus- V table to make up the sign desired. The user of my sign may employ as many sections or plates 20 as desired and one or more rods may be used to support the plates.v The supporting cups and rods may be easily removed when it is desired to cleanse the Window and in this manner a very attractive sectional adjustable display signmay be made by anyone Without being skilled in the art of making signs which is quite important to the ordinary merchant.

In accordance with the patent statutes I have described the principles of my sectional adjustable display sign and while I have illustrated a particular formation, arrrangement of parts and construction of the same, I desire to have it understood that these are only illustrative of a means of describing and claiming my invention and these may be changed within the scope of the following claims without departing from the purpose and intent of the respective'elements of my sign.
